Friendly people, perfect summer climate. Unfortunately provincial highway 21 is the main street. Traffic going north and south congests' s everything. Restricted parking downtown. Traveler's using the road need to obey the speed limit's. No sign of the police enforcing speed limits. Port Elgin has a lot of good dining spots, there is no shortage.

The town is small, not much to see other than souvenir stores, but the views, crystal clear water and park lands in the area are beautiful. If your destination is relaxing beaches and enjoy nature hikes...this is the area.

We booked this location through Booking.com. We received our confirmation number and we were satisfied to have something near our destination. We were going to be a little late After 6pm to check in so we emailed the hotel with our confirmation number and name to let them know we were still coming but would be a short time after check in time. We did not receive a response so we next phoned just to be sure they were aware of our arrival time. We were assured that it was not going to be a problem with the check in time. When we arrived to the location we were told that we were not in their system. We provided the confirmation number and reminded them of our earlier email and phone conversation. The man checking us in was unfazed and just said "call booking.com you booked through them." He was not helpful or apologetic, he didn't seem to care at all that we were now stuck without alternatives. It was a Friday evening and there was nothing else to be had. We had to drive an extra 90 minutes one way and 60 minutes back in the direction of the motel early the next morning. So if you decide to book this location do not feel confident that you will have the room that you have booked even if you have it confirmed by email, send correspondence to them by email with confirmation numbers, and speak to them directly by phone with assurances that everything will be fine. You could be nonchalantly turned away with little regard for how you will find accommodations last minute. I would not recommend this place to anyone. If I am giving them the benefit of the doubt - it is a very poorly run establishment.

The Lodge was fine. If you are going to spend time at beach, this location is perfect. The room was clean,bathroom was brand new. The room also had a full fridge and microwave . The property also had a swimming pool, great for families. We did notice there were bbq on site. Definitely recommend! Close enough to the "downtown area shopping

The beach area is very clean and well kept. You can see the effort and pride the city has in its beaches. They have bagpipes pipe down the sun 6 days a week. Saturday nights is the parade and concert. I always feel a real sense of community when visiting there.

We have always loved Southampton. Use to live there and had a cottage for many years. Quaint, pretty town with many wonderful people, shops and things to do. Always come back every year to have picnic in pioneer park or go the flea market, bakery and hear the Piper down by the flag. We love to attend the Annual Pumpkin Fest Car Show held in the adjacent town of Port Elgin. Miss living in Southampton and it will be an annual road 🛣️ trip for us. Our grandson was married at Fairy Lake and had their reception at the old Town Hall. They have also returned to Southampton from time to time. Everyone should make Southampton a once in a lifetime place for a summer ⛱️🌞 vacation. We are our dinner at Lord Elgin in Port Elgin. Fabulous fish, shrimps and service.

What a wonderful stay! Doug is a warm, welcoming host with a great sense of humour. We really enjoyed our conversations, and his local recommendations helped us discover some incredible hidden gems. The accommodations were spotless, comfortable, quiet, and had everything we needed. The beautiful grounds reflect the love and care that’s gone into this charming little B&B. Thank you, Doug! We loved our stay and hope to be back.

It was very quiet and very clean, we were in a relaxing space. We had everything ready when we arrived, they gave us wood for the first night and also, they gave us a complementary Smores kit. If you want to camp in style it is the place. Thanks

We were extremely impressed and beyond satisfied with our total experience. Staff were very friendly, personable and helpful. The complimentary breakfast far exceeded our expectations. Not only was it convenient and we were served so fast, it was DELICIOUS! The lovely lady that we had making our omelettes and sausages was super friendly and helpful AND she made in my opinion the most awesome omelettes and the sausages were so tasty.

Lived there for 7 years in late 70’s and early 80’s! Big changes since then! No more the cute little town where you knew most everyone. It certainly has become very multicultural. Pleased to see no homeless! Sad to see Harbourlight closed for a few days!
